Barda District

Barda is an administrative district in central Azerbaijan situated in the Kura River plain, where the Ter-Ter and Khachin rivers flow through the territory. The area is dominated by agricultural land and dotted with villages and settlements throughout.

The district was established in 1930 during the Soviet period and retained its administrative role after Azerbaijan's independence. The territorial organization has remained stable through political changes and continues today.

The district is home to villages where people maintain traditional Azerbaijani crafts, particularly textile production and weaving techniques. These skills have been passed down through families for many years and remain part of daily life.

The area is accessible by car or bus with basic roads connecting the main villages and settlements. Visitors should know that this is a rural region with limited tourism facilities and amenities.

The Tugai forests along the Kura River support diverse wildlife and provide natural resources that communities depend on for various needs. These ribbon-like forests form naturally along the river flow and create green corridors through the otherwise open landscape.
